AI for actual applications, where mistakes are costly, is becoming an idiot marker. As "crypto" for projects other than non-decentralized finance or "smart" contracts, has already become. FOMO is great on this though, so

If you can jump around without prediction which point is next, the hype cycle is useless. There are terms ppl use for things that are en vogue. There is no hype cycle.

How does "payment in USD" work, if I am not from the US? If the exchange value drops, I cannot pay rent? Everyone should probably get the employer to offer a currency-hedged payment, the fee is not that high.

800 mio tons in china, 1 mio ton in sweden. So, four years of worldwide supply, unless we start building more electric cars. #fuckcars, IMHO. Trains are nicer and bikes provide exercise, but the world seems to rely on two-ton vehicles for m

It's just a name. They are not necessarily rare. It should be "certain transition metals", but transition is not what it seems in regard to "changing" in the common sense, either. So, certain metal ores, it is.
